Chapter 178: Leave
Wu Heng looked back at Ben. Hanscombe.
Ben was stared at by Wu Heng's gaze, and he staggered his eyes a little weakly, and he was a little palpitating at the scene where the priest said 'don't waste' after picking up the child's arm in the library just now, and the scene where the arm turned into ashes.
It's not like what he thinks of a priest can do.
"This", Ben was a little indescribable, he recalled the scene when the clown claimed to be God, and he suddenly felt the urge to tear up the Bible and smash the statue of Jesus in front of him.
It always felt like a clown was hanging on the cross, grinning wide, waiting for him to pray.
"I said I don't believe in God."
Wu Heng's faint voice came.
"It's not a comforting thing at all, is it?" When Ben heard this, he complained inwardly.
Wu Heng stood up, walked behind the statue of Jesus, put away the Er, and then walked towards the door with the Bible in hand.
"Are you going to sit here until the evening, as agreed with Pennywise, and wait for it?"
Wu Heng, who had walked halfway through the passage of the church, stopped, and turned back slightly to Ben, who was still sitting in place. Hanscombe, shouted.
"Oooh!"
Ben hurriedly answered, he thought that the priest was going to take something, it turned out that he was leaving, could not even the priest have no choice!
"Ben, you're in the construction industry, aren't you?" Wu Heng asked.
"Yes, I've got a little bit of success in that."
Ben followed Wu Heng closely, he kept turning his head around to be vigilant, making preparations, at this time, Ben had actually recovered some courage, and after fear, he was calm.
Wu Heng walked to the warehouse next to the church, pulled up the roller shutter door, and a four-door sedan with bright black paint Ford Galaxie4 was parked there quietly, without the slightest dust on it, and it could be seen that the predecessor was very cherished.
It's an old car that was built thirteen years ago.
Wu Heng fumbled around the position of the wiper, opened the car door after getting the key, and beckoned Ben to sit up.
With the roar of the engine, it headed for the downtown area of Bloomington.
After driving for thirty-five minutes, Wu Heng stopped.
"Here it is."
He took out a bag of ten kilograms of gold, about the size of a brick, and handed it to Ben.
"You go and exchange the gold in this for cash, and then hit this card number, and I'm going to use it to make some preparations."
Ben subconsciously took the cloth bag, and the cloth bag that seemed light and fluttering in Wu Heng's hand pressed his arm and almost smashed it on the seat.
"Father, are you leaving?"
"I'm going to make some preparations, I can't just deal with Pennywise, after you're done exchanging gold, you'd better call your six friends to come to Bloomington first, Delhi is its territory."
Wu Heng nodded and said, he gave this gold and let it be discounted, which was just a convenient thing.
Although there are many ways for him to obtain money, it is best to avoid complications, and if Ben delays things, or if the amount is not enough, he will use other methods.
People always need to be flexible and not too rigid.
And for the seven protagonists, Wu Heng also mentioned it like this, if he could do his best, if he couldn't do it, then it would be like that.
After all, these seven people are also ordinary people, and the most important thing in this world is ordinary creatures, and they have been like this for millions of years.
If he could have done it outside of Delhi Town and gathered the seven protagonists, Wu Heng didn't mind strengthening them and giving them some help.
"Father, this..."
Ben was a little stunned when he heard this, he even felt that Wu Heng might really give up on him, and in the library, he could also hear the conversation between Wu Heng and Pennywise clearly.
"Its power comes from your fear of it, and the more you fear it, the stronger it becomes."
"You should already be familiar with it a few times, it marked the seven of you when you were young, and it is waiting for you in Delhi Town."
"Only if you are no longer afraid of it, can you hope to defeat it, if you can't face your own fears, if you are not mentally prepared, it is better to run away as far as possible, but I am not sure if you can escape its pursuit."
"The more you want to escape, the more scared you get, and that's a good game for it."
Wu Heng recalled the introduction in the plot, which came to the location of Delhi Town millions of years ago, and there are two versions of this.
One theory is that it is a town of Delhi in its own right, and the structure of the whole town is shaped according to its ontological appearance.
Another theory is that it lurks underneath the town of Derry, and people built it on top of it with red bricks and green tiles, hiding everything under the dust, and the town of Delhi develops with its consciousness, and it influences the town of Delhi all the time.
If it's the second type, it's fine, but if it's the first, it means Pennywise the Clown, who has a body as large as a small town, and as soon as he steps into Delhi, he is standing on it.
Wu Heng didn't say this to Ben, he didn't want to increase the senseless fear.
Ignorance leads to fearlessness.
"You heard Pennywise the Clown, too, and it said it himself, it's just an alien!"
"An alien who can absorb the fear of human beings and become stronger, is not some demon or devil."
Wu Heng used the words of the clown to reduce its mystery.
When Ben heard this, he did strengthen his courage a lot.
In the United States at this time, there were many rumors about aliens, and there were even rumors that the White House had obtained alien technology and that they had dissected alien corpses.
"Oh, then it should be lying on the operating table." Ben actually teased Pennywise.
Then it seemed that something came to mind, and his eyes lit up: "Father, maybe we can call the White House and ask the military to arrest the clown." ”
"Are you trying to kill it?"
"It feeds on fear, can you guarantee that every soldier will not generate fear, a lot of fear will only increase its power, infinitely enhanced!"
Wu Heng refuted this sentence and stopped his plan.
Clown Pennywise can absorb fear, how high is the upper limit of its ability to enhance its own strength, Wu Heng does not know, but it will definitely not be too low, after all, the person of the ontology is there, don't make a world-destroying level clown because it provides a lot of fear.
Wu Heng suspected that the reason why Pennywise only operated in Derry Town, did not interfere with the outside world, and did not spread fear on a large scale, was probably not that he was willing to do so.
It's the power of Ma Zhuling who is interfering, Ma Zhuling has created this universe, and he can modify some of the rules of the world, maybe he is restricting the clown.
The protagonists leave Derry Town and forget about Pennywise the Clown.
It may also not be the clown's own ability, but the Ma Zhuling's doing, only in this way will the fear not spread.
Wu Heng's remarks also made Ben startled, and he was secretly vigilant in his heart, it seemed that he couldn't tell outsiders about the clown at will.
This situation is actually somewhat similar to the "Chenjiacun people" who raised the Great Black Buddha Mother in captivity, not only can not promote the other party, seek external forces, but also think about it, inhibit and eliminate the other party.
